Stephanie Duce, Liz Crookshank and Sahail Akram are joining the existing team of Reading-based NatWest business managers to work in partnership with new and existing businesses, providing advice and guidance.

Stephanie is moving from Henley-on-Thames to be based in Reading along with Liz and Sahail, who will be focusing on providing advice and support to those starting up a business for the first time.

Stephanie said: "We're delighted to be joining a NatWest team that provides a specialised, personal service to businesses in the area and ensures that they can deal directly with a business manager who really understands their individual market place.

"Our aim is for all our business clients to receive tangible added value from their banking partner and for local businesses to see us as the obvious choice for all their banking needs."

NatWest does not charge for its advice or management time, so anyone wishing to find out what NatWest can offer can call Stephanie on (07770) 313929.
